Bayou Plaqueminc.

The navigation of this bayou dates
from an early period. In 1919 aoont ooo
Acadians arrived in New Orleans from
Canada They were sent by order OF
the Governor from that town to form a
settlement in the MtakapaS and Upeiou'
sas country. Under command Oh Audry
thew went I'D the Mississippi river until
they came to small outlet called Pa
o,,emine, sufficiently wide TO pass their
batteaux, and in this way proceeded to
the Attakapas country. The commissary
of the colony wrote to the Governor that
these settlements would in a few years
rise in importance should bayou Plague
mine b. cleared sufficient to be made ma
vigabie for large flatbOats from the Mis-
sississippi into bayou Teclfe. The i'm
provement Of the navigation Of this bayou
commenced, no doubt, about 1866, and
continued for several years. In 1903
Mr.. W. Darby writing Of the bayou Pla-
qnemine, says:
recommend this bayou as drain for
tho Mississippi waters. For in its
course Of seven miles it has as much fall
AS the Mississippi. From there, on to
the sea, 1t is distance of 175 miles. In
autumn, when the waters are low the
tide reaches the Atchafa,aya and Plaque
mine to Blake's within Eve miles OF the
Mississippi The government Of Loui-
siana as early as 1919, commenced, i'll
proving the navigation Of this bayou for
iiat-boats and barges. About the year
1896, the first steamboat passed through
this bayou into bayou Teche. From that
time on, until 1867, this was the route
used for reaching the Attskapas country
being l25 miles shorter than that via the
Atchafalaya."
In 1867 the navigation OF Plaquemine
was closed by an act Of the State legisla-
tura The reason given for this closure
was that tho back lands OF plantations
lying along the Missi- ippi river CONT
guous to this bayou were overflOwed BY
vast volume Of water flowing down PA
quemine II has remained closed since
that time. II will no 6"ubt, be again
reopened by the United States govern
ment, as the whole population Of the At
takapas country is asking for it, 40 that
they may he relieved frem the clutches OF

Placer County Hoard From.

Placer County Heard From.
Ata meeting of the Placer County I'm
migration Society, held at Auburn on Sat
urday, July 23d, it was determined to make
good exhibit at the Seventeenth District,
the State Fair and the Mechanics Institute
for the present season. An advisory COM
mittee, consisting of Jonas J. Morrison, of
LOOMS; w. B. Hayfofd, of Colfax, and J..
f. Madden, Of Newcastle, was appointed.
These are the gentlemen who so success
fully, and so creditablv for Placer county,
last season conducted the exhibits and Sc
cured so many premiums, and by their in
| diyidual efforts did more to further their
| county's interests than had been done for
twenty years before The management Of
all the fairs will be conducted by Il. Y.
| Maslin, OF Loomis, who will be ably as
sisted atthe Seventeenth District and at the
State Fair bv b. N. Berry. of Newcastle.
| Placer is a splendid county, and is fortu-
! aaie IN having so many enterprising and
public-slirited citizens wEo are in real
earnest i'll pushing their locality to the
| front IL inay be confidently predicted
| that q showing viii be made this season at
the State Fair that has never been sur
| passed anywhere on the Pacific slope and
! of course that shuts out the rest of the
world. Placer county must, however, put
forward her best efforts, as all the counties
that will exhibit at the State Fair are pre-
pairing 10 Guido everything of the past, and
honoTs secured az the coming State Expo
sition will be meritorious i'll the extreme
But the pleasing fact is that this degree of
merit is attainable with the resources of
any of our counties, il they are diligently
collected and properly displayed.
